Had It been proposed by n, Republican Administration tho shaded of Jeffersonand Jackson would have been Invoked endlessly In opposition. Thoro Is only one goodthing about tho bill and that Is Us perfectlyopen Indefensibility.Its pnrpooo is to npbutld tlio merchantmoxlno; Its effect would be to destroy It. Itavowedly is Intended to embark tho nationfax an economically unsound enterprise Itproposes a, controlling1 board In which thoSecretary of tho Navy will not havo membership, although tho assumption is that hoKnows as much about shipping as the Secretary of the Treasury. It Is a sod mixtureof hysteria, fallacy, politics and prejudicewith somo Bops for special Interests thrownIn for lagnappo.If tho Democratic party wants to stake Itschances In 1816 on a hybrid of this Bort, it Islikely to be for tho Republicans what Theodore Roosevelt was for tho Wilsonltcs in1812.Take the Shackles From Neutral TradeEVERT person who wishes the UnitedStates to prevent the sale of supplies totho belligerents ought to read the admirableexposition of1 the rights nnd duties of neutrals with which the State Department's explanation of the course of this Governmentsince tho beginning of the war concludes.This splendid document explains everycharge of violation of neutrality and meetstho objections of those who have been insisting that wo have been helping tho Alliesat the expense of Germany and Austria-Hungary.It Is clear that there has been a consistent nnd earnest determination on the partof tho Government to treat all parties withequal fairness, whllo maintaining tho rightof tha United States to continue to do business in spite of tho war. There has been noletting down to favor ono belligerent at thoexpense of another and there has been noconcession In any completed transaction toa demand that tho Government interferewith tho rights of any of its citizens to do.business with any of tho belligerents. Thocritics of tho Administration might say thatthere have been One or two cases of interference; but 'whatever has been done has beendone from an excess of caution and from adetermination that there Bhould be no excuseto charge us with favoritism.The Important part of the document is theconcluding paragraph. In which it is statedwith positive directness that whatever advantage Great Britain may enjoy Is due totho superiority ,of the British navy to thonavies of Germany and Austria-Hungary,& superiority that enables tho Allies to command the seas and to secure tho safe conduct of munitions of war. And it is deniedthat any obligation rests upon this Government to prevent trade In contraband, andthus equalize the difference due to the differing1 naval strength of the belligerents. Notonly doeo no duty rest upon this Governmentto take sruch a course, but It would be an unneutral act under tho circumstances andmake the United States an ally of Germanyand Austria-Hungary.There) la no doubt whatever that this document states tho view of the men responsible) for th policy of the Government in'Washington, and there is no doubt either thatall efforts to induce Congress to forbid thoexport of monitions of war will bo futile,tor the) Government has not allied ltsolf withtho British and it will not ally Itself withGermany. And It will defend the rights ofAmerican citizens to sell their products toWhoever will buy them. If they are contraband, the) purchaser must take tha chancesf ratting them."What the Sea Fight AlcanarnHB important fact to be noted in connecJLtlon with Sunday's naval battle is that Itwas fought oft the coast of Holland, TheBritish fleet la not hugging the shores ofEngland, timidly expecting a German raid.It is patrolling the German coast on theNorth Sea in an effort to draw the Germanfleet out to battle. If It Is foggy on the British coast It may be clear off WUhelmahavenAnd a raiding fleet can be detected beforaIts gets' far from its base. If it la foggy offWllhelmshaven it may be clear oft tho British coast and a German fleet can be repulsed by the ships at home. There willhot be another Scarborough raid, if foresightcan prevent It,Mr. Stotesbury as a HumoristTHERE are a few pessimists who, whenthey heard or read Mr, Stotesbury'sspeech at the Five o'clock Club, reflectedthat many a true word is spoken in jest. Butthe rest of the world, meaning those interested In the doings of the Five o'clock Cluband its star speaker, knew that Mr. Stotesbury was intending to test their capacity tounderstand a joke. He maintained his posejf gloomy and. depressing seriousness to theend in a way that not even Artemus "Wardcould havo equalled.Business Is going to the demnltlpn bowwows, according to this exponent of humor.The whole world la out of joint and there lano ine who sewn to have the wit to put ftright Corporations fcav botw compelled tordms tfcjr dividend trow T Rr eejt. ta 6per ,b , ftn4 Mao. wttfc HMWe to lvrf awssefcM tMtwrtfcy hewwMfwi wko wM wttWn ! t Of ja..r M 11 tfbury know that there are more men whowant to- borrow monty than men vJho havoIt to lend nnd ha wns taking this Indirectway to show how good but, no, wo Bhall notgo further, for the point of tho Joko is sosharp that nn explanation would only bluntIt. It Is enough to remark that Mr. Stotesbury surprised nnd dollghtcd his friends Inhis now rote of humorist.A Squnrc Deal Means n March ElectionIT IS n remarkable transit program whichhas been conceived nnd proposed.It involves tho expcndlturo by tho municipality of moro than $45,000,000, yet bo admirably adapted Is It to tho necessities ofPhiladelphia, so skilfully does It measuroand provido for tho several districts to boserved, so fairly does It balanco public andprivate Interests, that during tho long campaign of discussion not a slnglo volco ofmoment has been raised In opposition to Itand ho man has ventured openly to galnsnyIts merits.Tho program Is an agreement between thoPhiladelphia Rapid Transit Company andthe city. It bears, therefore, tho Indorsementof tho traction experts who aro particularlywell versed In tho local situation. ThoP. R. T. Is on record as favoring It, subjectto tho approval of a subsidiary, tho UnionTraction Company, which has waxed fat onits earnings In this city and Is asked now todo nothing moro than perform thoso functions which aro a corollary of Its frnnchlsoprivileges, namely, tho extension of Burfacolines' normally required. Tho essonco of thotheory that excuses monopoly In corporationsperforming public service Is that this serviceshall bo satisfactory, both in operation nndin extension, to meet tho needs of normal orabnormal growth.Councils has dodicatod ltsolf to support oftho program by the appropriation for thorelocation of sewers.The people In a public mas3tnccting havode'clared themselves, not only for tho program as an ultlmato thing, but as an lmmodlato project, to bo begun at onco and rushedto completion.A clear majority of Councils have announced themselves to bo In favor of thowhole program, the poll having been conducted by tho Evknino DEDacn.This majority Is entitled to record Its votoon tho two ordinances now under consideration by tho Finance CommitteeThe people of Philadelphia aro entitled torecord their voto on the proposed $30,000,000loan and to do It at tho oarllest possiblemoment.An election in March is what Philadelphiawants and must get; an election In Marchthat there may be no pouring back of earthinto tho excavations made for the new sewors, no discontinuance of tho work oncobegun, no postponement for another year,with tho possibility of another winter ofunemployment Instead of tho prosperitywhich the work on so vast a public undertaking would ossuro.Unless there aro subtle Influences sappingtho will of Finance Committee; unless Insomo mysterious way sinister purposes Andsupport In that body, the ordinances mustbe reported favorably at tho next meetingof Councils. There is no politics In the undertaking, for all classes of thought and allconditions of men are united In Its support.For every obstructionist there are 10,000workers In tho causo, 10,000 advocates of aGreater Philadelphia. It cannot be that thisInsignificant minority has made FinanceCommittee Its citadel and can crouch behindit as a barrier to thwart the will of tens ofhundreds of thousands.Tet bo tho matter stands. Finance Committee at Its next meeting will show whetherIt is for transit or against transit, for digging this year or at some indefinite timo intho future, for a March election or a posslblo June election.Let every citizen watch.

Thoroare others beside the protesting memberwho think that It would be a grievous mistake to open the school buildings In this cityfor "Billy" Sunday prayer meetings.Whether It is right or wrong, need not bediscussed at this time, but the whole geniusof the American public school system is secular and the American people aro most jealous of Us freedom from religious domination.Religion must be taught to the pupils Inother places than In the schoolhouses of agreat city, That tho leader in Jhe greatevangelistic movement here kept his hood Ina trying emergency is greatly to his credit.Can it be that tho police ara guarding"Billy" Sunday because the devil "has it infor hlmrOne of the most gruesome contradictionsin these warlike times la the shipment ofcannon from Bethlehem.The Arizona widower's pension law Is forthe protection of motherless children and notto encourage second marriages.Mr. Bryan seems to be aa much interestedin the deficiency Jn Domlnloan funds as inthe scarcity of Dominican offices for ''deserving Democrats.""

TOWNSENDI FEIVT suro that no one would "gotTFX mmo" for saying so I would put down onpnper right hero tho remark that, with thoexception of lew than n half dozon Senators(nnd you might cut that half dozen In twoand Btlll bo on Bnfo ground), thoro Is not amember of tho Scnato distinguished by conspicuous ability who has not served In thoHouse.Or, to put tho proposition In another way,thoro aro only n half dozen or less membersof tho Senato who havo reputations aa moroMinn commonplaco legislators who woro liottrained by experience In tho llouso of Representatives by Bcrvlco averaging 10 years.Down nt tho tall end of this piece I ahall annex n pnrngrnph Giving tho names of Scnntora who woro former Representatives andtho length of their Hotiso service, becauso 1had to wndo through tho Congressional Dllectory to get this Interesting Information,nnd whllo It docs not mnko a very good running story In ItFolf I do not wnnt to havotho result of my arduous labor lost. As onowill sea by critically examining that paragraph tho names of tho members npprarlngtherein, tlmt Is, Scnntors who hntl llousotraining, mako a rather complete list ofabout nil tho Senators whoso names arofamiliar through their official activities.Senatorial TouchdownsIt may bo bocauno of this early and oxtcnslvo training In tho gnmo that thoso Housetrained Scnntors have equal facility In goingslow or fast; thoy can dolay the game, ormako touchdowns with amazing rapidity.This statement may surprlso somo who rendIt, because thero has been so much criticismof tho Senato for Its dollbcrnto movements.Tho fact Is, however, that In tho nbsenco ofany rules to speak of, tho Senato, whon Itwnnts to do so, can transact moro businessIn an afternoon that It Is posslblo for thoHouse to transact In a month. It Is somotimes said that tho Scnato has no rules,which Is not true, Btrlctly speaking; althoughIt Is truo that It runs along In an cnsy-golngfashion a wholo session at a time withoutany referenco to Its rules or any disturbanceresulting from tho fact that It has any.Thero Is no doubt that tho States roprosented by Senators with Houso training nrobetter represented than tho others. New YorkIs an exception to this rule for reasons Iwill not go Into for fear of making Invidiouscomparisons, further than to say that Senators Root and O'Gorman havo both hadtraining, extending over many years, whichequips them to tako caro of themselves andNow York's Interest quite handily.However, measured by brains and legislative adroitness, Massachusetts Is probablytho best represented Stato in tho Senato,with Henry Cabot Lodge, who had eightyears' training In the House, and John Wlngnte Weeks, who went directly from thoHouso to tho Senato after 10 years' Housotraining.And It would not bo a very raw gucs3 tosay that perhaps Michigan Is, next to Mas- .Bachusotts, as well represented as any Stnto;and It can hardly bo a coincidence, merelythat Michigan Is ono of tho other fow Stateshaving two Senators who havo had Housoexperience.Norris' Talking ITnbitsTho first noticeable difference one observesIn Scnntors who havo moved from ono endof tho Capitol to tho other Is their manner ofspeaking. George W. Norris, of Nebraska,who moved over from tho House at tho boginning of this Congress, when In tho Housecould talk with that liveliness and emphasissometimes noticed in a batter who has hada second strlko called on him when ho foltcertain tho ball had passed a yard beyondtho corner of tho plato.For 10 years In tho Houso ho hnd tho common experience of members having three orfive minutes yielded to him to unbosom himself of thoughts which could easily bo spreadover tho entire first pngo of a newspaper, andunder thoso conditions oven a naturally Blowspeaker gets a smart move on him. Thetraining had been too long and too severeto let Its beneficiary abandon Its results atonco and Senntor Norris In his early speecheson the floor of tho Sennto spoko with a rapidity that astonished members nnd deeplygrieved tho official reporters.Ho has already corrected tho habit andnow speaks with that deliberation wnrrantedby tho fnct that when ho once gets the floora Senator cannot bo "taken off his feet," astho saying Is, by anything short of a parliamentary earthquake. That seldom happensIn tho Senate.Durton in the Author ClassAnd then thero Is that vory able citizenwho always carries a hammer especiallyadapted for the purpose of knocking In thohead of pork barrels, Theodore E. Burton, ofOhio. Ho served in tho House for 16 years,during 10 of which he was chairman of thoCommittee on Rivers and Harbors, andnecessarily had a great deal of talking to do.And he could talk. The ablest of the Housoofficial reporters had to be right on the edgeof his foot to keep abreast of Burton's torrent of words.But now a coy mntden shyly murmuring:"This Is so suddon!" Is a gatllng gun compared to tho serono deliberation of SenatorBurton In addressing tho Senate,' On Monday,after the Sonato voted not to make the District dry, Senator Burton rose and resumeda speech on the ship purchase bill, which hahad begun a week before, and tho mannerof his resumption was aa if ho had yioldedtha floor for a minute for somo purpose, andhe continued as though ho had another weekin which to conclude, as, indeed, ho has ifha wants It. By the way, Burton la an authorright In the class with Senator Lodge, nndTheodora Roosevelt, being with them a con-,trlbutor to the "American Statesman" series,his subject having been John Sherman, ofhia State.William Cauied SurpriseJ think thit John Sharp Williams, of MIsslseippi, Is the only Senator who was ever aHouse floorleader. Senator Williams wasminority flour leader in tho House for alacyears, arui that experience gave him a outslittle manner of havlngNome superior rightswh)ch he carried over to the Senate, to thasurpilse- of his fellow-merabera there. But hehas the wit to maintain this assumption in away which makes the Senate Democraticleader, Kern, of Indiana, view him at timeawith alarm.Altogether, I should say that an experiencein the IIoue gives a Senator a marked advantage over nls fellows lacking that expertenoe. The ex caption to prove the rule la theease of Smoot, of Utah An Intercut log chap.that eamo Reed Smoot. It will bo recalledthat when ho took his scat, In 1003, his rightto sit In Congress wnn promptly nttneked ontho ground that ho was a Mormon, and bocause of somo onths of allcglanco that howas supposed to havo taken, was not eligible.The effort to oust him foiled, yet ono mightsuppose that with such a handicap ho wouldremain somewhat in tho background duringhh serviceNothing seemed to bo further from thomind of this banker and woolon manufacturer, who hnd never had a day's experiencein any kind of political ofllco before ho waselected to tho Scnato. Possibly it was bocnusohis enemies thrcntencd his right to sit In thoScnnte at all that ho lesolvcd not only tosit there, but to sit at tho head of tho tabic.Tho plan ho pursued showed a very nice appreciation of human naturo. So far as onocould observe It tho plnn merely was to makohimself ngrccablo and useful to his fellowRepublicans. I havo many times .noticedSenator Smoot when ho would bo absolutelytho only Republican on tho floor besides thoSenator making a speech, sitting near thatSenator, apparently In rapt attention andhelping him with his data nnd memoranda.Smoot Sils at tho HeadI onco hoard a beautiful woman say In reply to tho question why sho liked a ccrtulnman who seemed to lack likable qualifications, "How can I help liking him? Ho hasbeen telling mo that I am beautiful, and thatho loves me, for five years "I never saw tho man referred to, but howould go a long way in politics by merelyworking that Httlo plan with men uponwhom ho depended for prominence. It wnsnot many years after Senntor Smoot showedthat ho liked all Republican Senators andconsidered them beautiful, that ho began tooxerclso tho powers and privileges of aleader. Today no matter of Republican policyIn tho Senato is considered without ReedSmoot sitting at tho head of tho conferencetablo; no partisan debate Intended for campaign purposes Is conducted without ReedSmoot making tho keynote speech; no Republican Steering Commltteo Is formed without Reed Smoot being named Its chairman.Ho Is not a brilliant speaker, but he Is thoroughly Informed on all leglslatlvo matters,and ho discusses them In n vigorous, businesslike way, and that air of certainty whichcomes from tho possession of ample and nccurato Information.Here's tho ListHero Is that list of Senators who servedIn tho Houso, tho figures following theirnames Indicating the years of tholr serviceas Representatives before thoy became Senators In Congress.

Atlast tho employe, tho human clement, Is tocomo Into his own as a factor In industrialand commercial progress. Tho developmentmay require months, ovon years, but thoroscorns to bo general agreoment that Dartmouth, In inaugurating a courso In cmploymqnt as a function of management, is decidedly on tho right track. It's about time torecognlzo tho fact that tho hiring of largonumbers of workets for a plant or store lanot a slniplo process to bo loft In tho handsof an ordinary subordinate. Tho task la onothat demands unusual Judgment and discretion and calls for a specific training a training nkln to that exacted In any professionwhich concerns tho wclfaro of human soulsand bodies.Dartmouth College, then, In Its school ofadministration and finance, will glvo a special consideration to all problems relating toemployes. Tho sources of supply, propermethods of securing help, classification according to aptitude training, guidance, promotion, labor exchange, and tho organizationand functions of tho employment staff willall bo treated In detail. As n leading featuroof tho courso, students will bo given the opportunity to secure actual exporlcnco andmake Investigations along tho right lines Inrepresentative commercial and industrial concerns. A Unique PropositionTho proposition from every point of viewIs unique. Thero nro almost any number ofbusiness men who feel tho need of bettertrained omploymcnt managers but no college,heretofore, has offered to help them solvotheir problems. The plan has tho distinctapproval of tho Employment Managers' Association of Boston and tho courso Itself hasbeen outlined by tho Boston VocationBureau. In tho opinion of A. Lincoln Flleno,himself a largo employer of skilled labor,thero Is no question moro vital to tho business man of the present than that whichinvolves tho securing of tho right kind ofhelp, tho right men and women for tho rightJobs, and providing the basis for right rotations. In tho average business houso today thonumber of different persons employed duringtho courso of a year is anywhere from oneand a half to three timOs as large as thonumber of places on the permanent payroll.Plainly there Is here an economic waste,a financial leak. Tha causo is largely a poorselection of employes In tho first place, nndthe remedy, which Dartmouth proposes toBupply, consists in having employment managers who, on tho ono hand, aro acquaintedwith the necda and traditions of their firmsnnd, on the other, aro trained to know wheroto seek, how to obtain, develop and distributetho employes.Dealing in FuturesFrom the foci that big Boston employersare lending their assistance to Dartmouth inthis now undertaking, it must not bo inferredthat here is another attempt to exploit thahuman worker. The purely material side oftholr several businesses has about reachedthe limit of efficient management. Withthem It Is no longer a question of how to gettho most out of their men, but how to arrange affairs so that the men themselvesmay best grow and receive tho full rewardof their ability. If the employe la to be contented and" his work satisfactory to himselfand his employer, he must never, bo In theposition where ha seea ahead of hlra a atonowall, a professional deadline beyond whichhe must not and cannot go. Much of our industrial unhapplness Is tho result of a wrong'distribution of employes. In their preaentJobs niany men and women ara really up ablind alley. Shift them to other depart-'ments, give them moro congenial work todo, and they are Immediately transformedfrom sullen, dejected help to willing andenergetic ejnployea. To arrange affaire aothat fcveryjr nyorlw whj j,avo a future la thusone of tfijI'djMes of the trained employmentmanager. wHere Is a situation which every bo 'oftenconfronts all department atorea: A girl, neatin her personal habits, normally Intelligentand with flrst-claaa recommendations In respect to honesty and Integrity, applies for aJob.
